I was looking for one on e-bay for about a year, they show up every couple of months, but the prices they usually went for were outrageous. I ended up buying an FA 20-35mm Zoom new for a about $100.00 more than the lowest price I saw one go for, ( a beat up at least from the pictures), copy.

This sounds rather good to me. Amateur and prosumer cameras (DSLR) with APS-sized sensors - and 645D pro cameras. This means we'll still get good D's and more primes - (and hopefully better AF- and FPS speed - and larger buffer, flash compensation). And we can upgrade to a pro 645D Pentax, if we
